14 Memorable Marilyn Manson Quotes

Who wouldn't want some words of wisdom from the 'God of Fuck'?

Looking back over summer 2014 we felt a sudden wave of sadness that, owing to the cancellation of Alt-Fest, the UK missed out on a visit from Marilyn Manson. So we decided to compile a brief history of old Mazza's most memorable quotes to cheer ourselves up...

"America will paint me out to be this terrible person, responsible for teen suicide, mass murder. I want to call their bluff. 'I am the All-American Anti-Christ. Go ahead, be afraid'." 1995

“I like England. It’s very grey,
but that suits me... I see a lot of gloomy faces in England, so I
feel at home there.” 1997

“I'm not Jesus Christ, but I come as
close as I can.” 1998

“I'd like to think that I'd helped
people all over the world to question the things they otherwise would
have accepted as the truth. I'd also like to think that I'd charmed
them a bit with my lovely vocal stylings and the baring of my lovely
arse.” 2002

“A long time ago I took acid and had
sex and felt like I was riding on top of a big whale. It scared me
and I don't ever wanna do it again.” 2002

“I don't like mushrooms. They taste a
bit like sperm to me. And I only say that because everyone who's ever
kissed a girl after oral sex knows what that tasted like. You don't
have to be gay to know the flavour.” 2003

“I know I'm fucked up, and I'm really
not ashamed of it.” 2007

“I'm not a role model. I'm a role
villain. And role villains need to fuck shit up.” 2009

“When I was seven or eight, I was
playing with my Scooby-Doo and Daphne toys, and had a strange
feeling. It was my first sexual arousal. Now I feel that all girls
with red hair are of the devil.” 2009

“My body is a place where drugs and
alcohol have made germs afraid to live.” 2012

“I trained to be a sniper at age 7. I
have good aim. But I was afraid to go and get drafted into the army,
because I didn’t want to get a haircut...I’m pretty bummed that
my mullet kept me from a free kill-fest.” 2012

“I’m understood differently by
everyone. I think it’s the best way, it’s almost like Mickey
Mouse.” 2013
